Using a new database of statistics from creameries and the tool of stochastic frontier analysis, we find that both institutions and technology were important for the success of the Danish dairy industry and, by implication, the growth and early development of the Danish economy.application/octet-streamapplication/octet-streamapplication/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaCreameriesDairiesDenmarkDevelopmentEconomic growthInstitutionsTechnologyStochastic frontier analysisworking paperL2N5O3Q1EconomíaHistoriaopen accesswp10-13
